Transmigrated to the Great Ming Dynasty, I became Emperor Zhu Youxiao, the Carpenter Emperor. Well then, I'll hide behind the scenes; I'll take the blame, and you all go die.
After hearing this, Wu Keshan frowned.
Do you pay for it yourself?
Bumbutai noticed her brother's hesitation and offered her own explanation. She said, "If our family pays for the Royal Academy, then we will have the final say in this matter."
"It's hard for us to control the people from the Daming Dynasty, but whether people from other tribes can enter the academy is probably up to our family. Especially those small tribes, they will definitely curry favor with our family."
"After all, if you want to have a good relationship with the Ming Dynasty, you have to join the Royal Academy. The people of the Ming Dynasty will definitely be closer to the scholars of the Royal Academy now."
After hearing this, Wu Keshan nodded thoughtfully and said, "Anything else?"
"Yes." Bumbutai pondered for a moment and said, "But this matter may need to be discussed with my father Khan. If we say it just like that, I'm afraid my father Khan will not agree, and there will be strong opposition from the tribe."
"You tell me first." Wu Keshan said with a serious face.
At this point, he couldn't care less. Both of his sister's ideas were good.
The first one is to use the relationship with the Ming Dynasty to win over more small tribes;
The second one is to gain the trust of the Ming Dynasty and then threaten those small tribes. To put it bluntly, it is a sentence, using both kindness and force to make you unite closely around me.
If you want to cling to the thigh of the Ming Dynasty, that is impossible. You have to cling to my thigh first.
In this regard, I am still not as good as my sister. If she has any other better ideas, that would be great.
Bumbutai didn't keep the secret and said directly: "You can petition the emperor of the Ming Dynasty and tell him that we admire the culture of the Ming Dynasty and want a Han Chinese name. Please ask the emperor of the Ming Dynasty to grant us a surname and a name for you and your father."
"After the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty agrees, you can petition that all of our clan members have a Han Chinese name."
After hearing this, Wu Keshan frowned.
This matter may be very troublesome, as names are taken very seriously in one’s own tribe.
We are all descendants of the Golden Khan. Changing our names would be considered a betrayal of our ancestors.
"I'm afraid that won't work." Wu Keshan said after shaking his head.
Bumbutai was not surprised by her brother's reaction.
After all, this matter had been discussed before. If it were really implemented, it would probably be very difficult to handle. People in the clan might object, and it might even cause chaos.
But now that she has said it, there must be a good solution.
Bumbutai continued, "It doesn't matter. We can have two names. One is our own name, and the other is named after the Ming Dynasty. When making friends with people from the Ming Dynasty, such a name will make it easier for them to lower their guard."
"If that's the case, then it's fine." Wu Keshan nodded slowly and said.
"After these three countermeasures are implemented, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty will definitely be very happy and will definitely use us. After the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is gone, we can follow these three policies to win over and suppress those small tribes and further consolidate our power." Bumbutai said with a smile on her face.
"By that time, across the entire grassland, our family will be the representative of the Ming Dynasty, and no one will dare to touch us."
Wu Keshan thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "You have a point, but I can't make the decision on this matter on my own. I need to discuss it with my father. I will immediately send someone back at full speed to ask my father's opinion."
"Brother, remember to tell him that this is my idea." Bumbutai said after thinking for a while.
Bumbutai said this not to grab the credit. If this thing is done, there will be credit, but this credit will not do any harm at all.
While those people in the tribe enjoyed the credit, they also questioned Wu Keshan, saying that he was spineless and even that he had betrayed his ancestors.
This will not be of any benefit to Wu Keshan in inheriting the position in the future.
Even if he does nothing now, he can still inherit his father's position as Khan. Doing such a thing will only backfire.
Bumbutai felt that there was no problem with what she said, as she was about to marry the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
